Not sure what to say?

Lorrie,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. He was a great man and I enjoyed officiating with him in the MCYO.

May God be with your family during these difficult times.

To the Wilson family

I knew Darryl through the insurance industry when he used to come to Canada regularly to inspect uranium facilities in Saskatchewan. I recall the first time he showed up with a huge pink suitcase. I'll never forget that. It was so that he could see it in the carousels. Many times when I wait for my black case in an airport I think of that suitcase. Eventually a business relationship became a good friendship with many a golf game and a laugh or six. He was fun...

Whether or not you know,
Together we watched the sun rise.
You were not there,
But could see through my eyes.

I sifted the earth between both hands,
Instead of just one.
And twice I enhaled the sweet smell of the air,
While waiting for the sun.

Then when the sun finally rose,
It was bright enough to share.
You could not see it,
But you were still there.

Shirely, Chris, Rob & Lorrie,
We were very saddened to hear of Darryl's passing. We want you all to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and God's blessings.

Shirley,
He will be missed by all who knew him. I will always remember the fishing trips and the great times we had. May God comfort each of you.

Dear Wilson Family,

I am so sorry to hear that Darryl passed away. I will always remember him as part of the NERO Sports program and as a referee for the MCYO. My heart goes out to all of you and especially Lorri.

Shirley,
I was very saddened to hear about Darryl. May the memories stay in your heart and help heal your soul.

Take care,
